Compression and Lipoedema

With a background in palliative care, lymphoedema has been a focal point in my nursing career for the last 33 years.

Having set up numerous clinics within the NHS, I have laterly established Kendal Lymphology Centre (KLC) - an independent clinic, providing NHS care for 2 Health authorities. We have seen over 4500 patients since it opened in 2005 and see patients suffering from all types of lymphoedema, lipoedema and children if necessary.

Receiving numerous awards over the years, the Chronic Oedema Nurse of the year award in 2019 was very special – as was the rating of “outstanding” following the recent Care Quality Commission inspection.

I have also written work for publication – the latest in conjunction with the Lymphoedema Support Network (LSN) entitled “Your Lymphoedema – taking back control”. Providing training and education is also important to me locally, nationally and internationally – Kenya particularly, educating Health Care Professionals to manage breast cancer related lymphoedema.
